The Great Mosque in Abu Dhabi was a definite highlight of this trip. It’s grandeur and magnificence places it among other world wonders like Saint Peter’s cathedral in the Vatican or the Taj Mahal in Agra. A breathtaking place of peace and quiet contemplation. 🙏🏻

This is one of my favourite moments captured with my camera. It wasn't planned, I was just driving to some place but then saw this and had to turn back and stop. "Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.". This is how the book of Ecclesiastes starts. The word vanity is used a lot in this book and it describes the morning mist on a hot day which burns off as soon as the sun rises. It is used to refer to something very transient.
I remember standing on the side of the road as I gazed into the distance in awe of it all. It was so beautiful, so warm, so dreamy but also fleeting and ephemeral; like everything else. If there is anything constant in this world, it is the fact that it is changing. Life moves on, time doesn't stop. Every good moment passes, so does every bad one. Cherish the good times and, more importantly, endure the bad ones, because at the end of the day, it's all momentary; it might not dissapear as quickly as the mist burns off on a hot day when the sun rises, but one thing that's for sure is that the sun will rise. #SunriseTherapy#dazzlingencounters .
